Case Study: KMD achieves greater scalability and uptime with Microsoft Azure

Danish IT company breaks data silos to provide rich healthcare experience with Microsoft Azure

KMD, a Danish IT company serving public-sector healthcare and social care providers, needed to break down data silos and modernize KMD Nexus, its market-leading SaaS healthcare platform. With around 70,000 professionals in 60 municipalities relying on the system each week, KMD needed a more scalable, secure, and compliant infrastructure to handle heavy daily traffic spikes and reduce downtime.

KMD implemented Microsoft Corporation’s Azure Database for MySQL and Azure Kubernetes Service to migrate from on-premises servers to the cloud. Microsoft Corporation helped KMD improve scalability, cut maintenance-related downtime to no more than a minute per cluster per month, and better manage peak demand with predictable costs; the company also gained a more agile environment for testing and deployment across development and pre-production systems.
